You guys should get rid of the elephant and replace it with a picture of Sgt. Schultz, it would be more fitting.[/quote]
Well, you mistake me for a republican, which I am not. But I would much rather be a republican than a democrat.
And conversely, I think the ass is the perfect symbol for the democratic party.

I wonder who is actually behind the great right wing surge to destroy “Obamacare”? It certainly can’t be the millions of uninsured Americans that spend their days dreading that the cough they’ve had for 2 weeks isn’t emphysema or cancer, I’m sure it’s not the families bankrupted by skyrocketing medical costs and outrageous pharmaceutical co-pays? If it’s not "Joe Sixpack then who is it? Hmmmm, Insurance Companies and their lobbyists protecting their profits, outdated religious institutions protecting their religious dogma, Corporations more worried about decimal points on an earnings statement than the health of their employees, customers, suppliers etc. It is the big man trying to screw the little man (again) and through a cleverly marketed, well designed series of misleading attack ads the people with the $ have convinced the sheeple that their best interest is to be …at risk? If you are against Obamacare I would have to question your patriotism, I question your commitment to your fellow Americans, and I question your sanity, the costs of the uninsured are transferred to you and I anyway, wouldn’t it be better to pay for care that is proactive and preventative rather than reactive and palliative?

People protecting their religious and economic freedom. You know, red-blooded conservative Merikans!

…This has nothing to do with taxes. This has to do with the federal mandate which mandates that religious organizations that provide insurance provide insurance that pays for abortion, contraceptions, sterilization, &c. This is morally opposed to the religious beliefs of these organizations. So, taxation is not going to take care of the situation, not forcing Catholics to do anti-Catholic stuff is.

And yet I become more disappointed with Obama… Do you know Romney’s stance on energy?

I saw some stuff I do and don’t like in there. I’d go into detail but that’s well outside the scope of this thread.
